The excitement continues at the Morris Lewinter Youth Department, where this Shabbat we launch the Junior Congregation in the social hall. We welcome all 2nd through 4th grade boys and girls to davening, snacks, games and raffles. Please stay tuned for many other events and programs coming up over the next few weeks to keep our children engaged and involved with our shul and our community.

We are working hard to keep our young and adult members safe and healthy while maximizing shul attendance and participation. Please help us enforce the mask mandate for all who are not yet vaccinated, especially young children who are not yet eligible. In the interest of keeping our members safe from exposure, we are asking to please refrain from distributing candy to children during our minyanim at this time. We realize that many children and grandchildren look forward to visiting us while we daven and certainly enjoy treats, but at this time, it seems prudent to keep them in groups and away from those who are davening.

Finally, I wanted to share with you below a communication from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, of which the National Council of Young Israel is a part of. It is incumbent upon us as supporters of the State of Israel to speak up when matters concerning safety and security are at issue.

Regards and Shabbat Shalom,


David Basaleli
President
Young Israel of Great Neck
